Connecting Instant Triggers (Perform a Function, Watch Changes) using the Make.com Google Sheets Add-on (works in Boost.space Integrator same way)

In order to use instant triggers, you must install the Make.com add-on in your spreadsheet and establish a connection between the Boost.space Integrator module and Google Sheets.

	Note
	This add-on works only if you open the Google spreadsheet in a browser and make changes there. It will not work when the spreadsheet is filled by Google Forms or other tools.

Make.com add-on installation

Open the spreadsheet where you want to install the extension.
Go to Extensions > Add-ons > Get add-ons
Search for the Make.com add-on.
Click on +Free to install the Make.com add-on.
Click Allow to grant access rights.
You have now installed the Make.com add-on.

Connecting the Instant Trigger module to a Google Sheets spreadsheet

Copy the provided webhook address to the clipboard and click OK.
Open your spreadsheet.
Open the Make.com add-on settings.
Paste the webhook URL you have copied in step 1 to the Webhook URL field in the Watch Updates settings section or Perform a Function section, depending upon which module you are using.
Click Save.

Note

If clicking Save does not work, try the steps again in an Incognito browser window, preferably Chrome (Specifically for Mac users)

You can find over 100 predefined Google Sheets sample templates here.

Triggers

Watch Rows

Retrieves values from every newly added row in the spreadsheet.

The module retrieves only new rows that have not been filled in before. The trigger will not process an overwritten row.

	Tip
	You can trigger a scenario in Boost.space Integrator using a custom button in Google Sheets. See here for more information.

Connection	Establish a connection to the spreadsheet using your Google account.
Choose a Method	Select a method to choose the spreadsheet whose rows you want to watch.
Choose a Drive	Select Google Drive, where you have the spreadsheet whose rows you want to watch.
Spreadsheet ID	Choose the Spreadsheet ID whose rows you want to watch.
Spreadsheet	Select the spreadsheet that contains the sheet you want to watch.
Table contains headers	Select whether the spreadsheet contains the header row. If the Yesoption is selected, the module doesn’t retrieve the header row as output data, and variables in the output are then called by the headers. If the Nooption is selected, the module retrieves the first table row, and the output variables are called simply A, B, C, D, etc.
Row with headers	Enter the range of the header row, e.g., `A1:F1`.
Value render option	Formatted value The values in the reply will be calculated and formatted according to the cell’s formatting. Formatting is based on the spreadsheet’s locale, not the requesting user’s locale. For example, if `A1` is `1.23`and `A2` is `=A1` and formatted as currency, then `A2` will return `"$1.23".` Unformatted value The values will be calculated but not formatted in the reply. For example, if `A1` is `1.23` and `A2` is `=A1` and formatted as currency, then `A2` will return the number `"1.23"`. Formula The values will not be calculated. The reply will include the formulas. For example, if `A1` is `1.23` and `A2` is `=A1` and formatted as currency, then A2 will return `"=A1"`.
Date and time render option	Serial number Instructs date, time, datetime, and duration fields to be outputted as doubles in “serial number” format, as popularized by Lotus 1-2-3. The whole number portion of the value (to the left of the decimal) counts the days since December 30th, 1899. The fractional portion (to the right of the decimal) counts the time as a fraction of the day. For example, January 1st, 1900 at noon would be 2.5. 2 because it’s 2 days after December 30th, 1899, and .5 because noon is half a day. February 1st, 1900 at 3 pm would be 33.625. This correctly treats the year 1900 as not a leap year. Formatted string Instructs date, time, datetime, and duration fields to be outputted as strings in their given number format (which depends on the spreadsheet’s locale).
Limit	Set the maximum number of results that Boost.space Integrator will work with during one execution cycle.

	Caution
	If the worksheet contains a blank row, no rows after the blank row will be processed!

Watch Changes

This module watches for changes in all the cells of a spreadsheet. It means that when you update numerous cells in one row, one by one, Boost.space Integrator will then receive multiple updated events.

	Note
	The module only watches for changes made in the Google Sheets app by the user. Script executions and API requests do not trigger this module. The module does not watch for newly added rows to the sheet.

	Tip
	You can trigger a scenario in Boost.space Integrator using a custom button in Google Sheets. See here for more information.

Webhook

Establish a connection to the spreadsheet using the Make.com add-on.

Perform a Function

Boost.space Integrator allows you to use the custom function MAKEin Google Sheets similarly to built-in functions like AVERAGE, SUM, etc. It allows you to perform the function in Boost.space Integrator and return the result back to the sheet. The function MAKE accepts as many parameters as you need.

Perform a Function Example

Sample sheet

The Total – EUR amount SUM will be converted, according to the current exchange rate, to the Total – USD amount and will be inserted into the desired field using Boost.space Integrator.

Create a scenario. Use the following modules:
- Google Sheets > Perform a Function
- Currency > Convert an Amount between Currencies
- Google Sheets > Perform a Function – Responder
1. Google Sheets > Perform a Function
  Generate a webhook and paste it into the Make.com add-on in Google Sheets.
2. Currency > Convert an Amount between Currencies
  Converts the mapped EUR amount to USD.
3. Google Sheets > Perform a Function – Responder
  Inserts the converted amount into the sheet cell.
Run the scenario
Enter the MAKE function into the desired cell to load the converted amount.

When the user changes the amount, the MAKE function re-calculates the Total – USD according to the current exchange rate:

How to perform a custom function?

You can simply use the function like built-in functions in Google Sheet.

Create a new scenario with the following modules:

Perform a Function – the module receives the parameters passed to the function
Perform a Function – Responder – the module returns the result of the function execution back to the sheet

Tips & Tricks

Deleting Multiple Rows

To delete multiple rows based on filter criteria use the Search Rows module linked to the Delete a Row module as on the following example:

1. Add the Search Rows module and Delete a Row module to the scenario.
Let’s assume that you have a table where you need to delete all rows where column A equals to Y.
Open Search Rows module settings and set the fields as follows:

Filter

A Equal to Y

Sort order

Descending

Order by

Row number

Caution

Make sure that Sort order and Order by fields are set as above, otherwise, values will not be deleted correctly from the table!
Add the Delete a Row module to the scenario and connect it to the Search Row module.
Map the Row number item from the Search Rows module to the Delete a Row module’s Row numberfield.
Run the scenario to delete values that match the filter criteria from the sheet.

How to Get Empty Cells from a Google Sheet

Use the Search Rows (Advanced) module & use this formula to get empty columns.

select * where E is null

Here “E” is the column & “is null” is the condition. You can create a more advanced query using Google Query Lang

Add a Custom Button in a Sheet to Trigger a Scenario

In Boost.space Integrator, insert the Webhook > Custom webhooks module/trigger into the scenario and configure it (see Webhooks).
Copy the webhook’s URL.
Execute the scenario.
In Google Sheets, choose Insert > Drawing… from the main menu bar.
Click the Text box icon:
Design a button and click Save and Close in the top-right corner:
The button will be placed in your worksheet. Click the three vertical dots in the button’s top-right corner:
Choose Assign script… from the menu.
Enter the name of your script (function). For example, runscenarioand click OK:
Choose Tools > Script editor from the main menu bar.
Insert the following code:
- The name of the function must correspond to the name you specified in step 9.
- Replace the https://hook.make.com/xxx...xxxURL with the webhook’s URL you copied in step 2.
```
function runScenario() {   UrlFetchApp.fetch("https://hook.make.com/xxx...xxx"); }
```
Press Ctrl+S to save the script file, enter a project name, and click OK.
Switch back to Google Sheets and click your new button.
Grant the required authorization to the script:
In Boost.space Integrator, verify that the scenario has successfully executed.

Storing Dates in a Spreadsheet

If you store a Date value in a spreadsheet without any formatting,

it will appear as text in ISO 8601 format in the spreadsheet. However, Google Sheets formulas or functions that work with dates do not understand this text. E.g. formula =A1+10 will display the following error:

To help the GS to understand the date, format it with the formatDate(.) function. The correct format passed to the function as the second argument depends on the spreadsheet’s locale settings. Choose File ▶ Spreadsheet settings from the main menu to verify/set the locale:

Once you have verified/set the proper locale, determine the corresponding date and time format by choosing Format ▶ Number from the main menu. The format is displayed next to the Date time menu item:

The following example shows the use of M/D/YYYY HH:mm:ss format for the United States locale:

Exploiting Google Sheets Functions

If you miss a built-in function but it is featured by Google Sheets, you may exploit it.

Posting and Getting Images from Google Sheets

When getting an image from Google Sheets, first make sure you enter the image as a formula. For example:=IMAGE("https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MPV2METPeJU/maxresdefault.jpg") making use of the =IMAGE(…)

After you have done so, open the Google Sheets module (e.g. Watch Rows, Search Rows, Get a Cell) and select the Show advanced settings. Then select the Formula option in the Value render optionfield.

The output will be as shown below:

Then you can extract the URL using the replace function.        The output will be just the URL.

To be able to post an image, make sure to enter the =IMAGE(...) formula that will be used in the cell and then enter the Image URL address.

	Note
	If clicking Save does not work, try the steps again in an Incognito browser window, preferably Chrome (Specifically for Mac users)

	Caution
	Make sure that Sort order and Order by fields are set as above, otherwise, values will not be deleted correctly from the table!
